It also reports 2x better conversion from structured Shopify Catalog data than scraped or third-party feeds. beFound scans your catalogue and creates categories, metafields, titles and descriptions.
Shelfmeadow finds products with no category, plus missing images, titles, or prices, and shows which ones Shopify Catalog and AI shopping channels may leave out. AI suggests a category from Shopify's standard product taxonomy for each one, with a confidence label, and can read the photo when a title is thin.
